Dear List,
I am setting up 10 AB PLC 5/30s.
Which would be the better way to connect for Peer to Peer comm; Profibus or DH+? I understand profibus is getting to be a world standard, yet DH+ is AB's "best" way of doing things. I would like to leave room for expandibility at a reasonable cost, (not changing network design down the road). Is it true that most manufacturers
are making there *products profibus ready and ignoring AB's protocols? (*products like scales, HMIs, Chart Recorders, and other devices one might add on to a control network.) I understand that DH+ works fantastic, yet I don't want to limit ourselves if everything is going Profibus.
I really appreciate your input on this.
Thank you In advance,
Scott J.
